Plex For Mac Os

Posted By admin On 23.04.21

Plex, PlexConnect and OpenPlex are running on Mac OS X 10.11.4 El Capitan. On March 21, 2016, Apple released Mac OS X 10.11.4 El Capitan (build number 15E65, ‘final release’). I positively tested it with an Apple TV 3 running on Apple TV 7.2.1 software. Find more about Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan on Apple’s Website.I had not to re-install OpenPlex. “Plex quit unexpectedly.” I’ve seen this message so many times that it should say, “Plex quit expectedly.” I’m running the latest Plex for Mac app (1.19.0.1399-31d8c803) on the latest Mac OS (Catalina, Version 10.15.7). Anybody else experience this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Plex Mac Os Client

Plex is a comprehensive video and audio player, aimed to work as a media center for your living room, thanks to an interface that looks like one of a SmartTV, and a graphical menu filled with possibilities to sync your media library and play it online.
One of the greatest benefits of Plex is its ability to automatically get information about each movie or series that you have, showing you its cover, a short description, and many other interesting details. All this information is perfectly integrated in the menu, to offer a true media center experience.
The player incorporates features that let you mark your favorite content, insert and adjust subtitles, play the most popular formats, and search your collection using different filters, including one that filters the content you have already seen. Apart from all these features, its greatest trick lets you remotely interact with a device that has Plex Media Server installed (also available on Uptodown), so you can play movies remotely, even if they are saved into a different device that is connected to the network.

Requirements

Available for Max OS X 10.5 or higher.

For long time Mac users, iTunes became the default media server for all your movies, television shows, music, home videos, and the like. It worked decently enough, but the user really had to take the time to manage file information, metadata, album or movie artwork, and much more.

Plex

A much better solution has gained widespread adoption over the last few years, and that is Plex. Plex does what iTunes does, serving up your content over your network, but it does so much more, and it does it so much better.

Old Mac

Do you have an older Mac sitting around with nothing to do? You have to really watch those old Macs, they get lazy if you don’t tell them what to do! Why not repurpose that Mac to be a Plex media server?

OS X Minimum Requirements

The biggest software requirement for an older Mac to become a Plex media server is that it has to run Mac OS 10.8 or later, otherwise known as Mountain Lion.

If Older Than Mountain Lion, Try Linux

Mac Plex Client

If you have an older Mac that does not run Mac OS 10.8, you could install Linux on the machine and run a Plex media server that way. Ubuntu 10.04 can be run on many older Macs, and will make a fine server. And you know you always wanted to play around with Linux a little, right? Here is your chance!

Meta Heaven

A Plex media server does something really cool that we only wish Apple’s iTunes did: it takes care of all the meta data for you. It will scour the internet to provide movie descriptions, album artwork, keep television series tagged correctly for season and episodes, provide album data for your music, and much more.

Storage

Running a large media library via a Plex server is no problem. Simply connect a large external hard drive, or even a RAID, to your Mac, configure Plex to look on that drive, and your all set. Even cooler? Any time you add something new, Plex will update your library automatically at a set interval. (I have mine set to once an hour).

While we all love Apple and Apple products, we also live in a world with numerous other technologies. Smart TVs, Android, Windows, Playstation 3 and 4, the Xbox, Amazon Fire TV, and ROKU (just to name a few). And everything listed above is compatible with running the Plex client software, which is what you will use to enjoy all your content!

Apple TV

The new Apple TV (forth generation) has a Plex client you can download, so if you are an only-Apple technology household, you can still take advantage of the better Plex media server. (One caveat: iTunes purchased content cannot be played via Plex).

Free!

You can download Plex for free. Requirements for a Plex media server can be found here.
